Hi,
I have never used the word 'çünkü' and was wondering whether this word has any effect on the rest of the sentence structure and how I should use it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

As far as I know it simply means 'because', but it also confuses me sometimes because(!) I don't hear turks use it very often.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it's not a question of using another word instead.
You might see a sentence like "Okula gitmedi, hastaydı." In English you'd probably say "She didn't go to school because she was ill."
But as far as I've seen (and my knowledge is limited  ) Turkish tends to drop the "because" and put a comma for example.

A little example to understand better ÇÜNKÜ
SEN GELDIN VE BEN GİDİYORUM.
YOU CAME SO I AM GOİNG.
in other order same:
I am going because you came!
ben gidiyorum çünkü sen geldin
now you can understand why we dont use çünkü much as in English:
Sen geldiğin için ben gidiyorum.
sen geldiğinden dolayı ben gidiyorum.
These all sentences are so close by meaning! so we dont use much "ÇÜNKÜ". If we want or need to emphasize then we use " ÇÜNKÜ " in sentence.
